Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp edges.
Step 2
In a saucepan, heat milk and butter over medium until butter melts and milk is hot, but not boiling.
Step 3
In a bowl, whisk sugar, flour, and egg yolks until smooth and pale.
Step 4
Gradually whisk hot milk into the egg mixture, then return everything to the saucepan.
Step 5
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Step 6
Pour the custard into the prepared crust and sprinkle with cinnamon.
Step 7
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the custard is set but slightly jiggly in the center. Cool completely before slicing.
